shoulder to demonstrate, the mate stopped,
grabbed the captain around the waist and
threw him over the side Of the vessel, at

MlLWAUKEE'S GREETING.

Milwaukee Extends II Cordial Reception to
President and Mrs. Cleveland.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct THE Presiicn-
tial train arrived from Chicago at about
noon yesterday. The scenes along the way
were OF the usual character. At Evanston
there was a brass band serenade and a ,ri-
umphal arch Of evergrcens. At Racine
flags could be seen flying over the town
mile away. At smaller stations all the
country population round about was wait
ing, and even the plowmen in the fields had
their horses bedecked with iags and rib
bons.
When the train finally drew into the Mil
waukee depot and the Presidential car was
brought abreast of the temporary platform
upon which the President was to alight the
immense crowd cheered repeatedly and
swayed and surged about the platform. A
Presidential salute was fired by a battery
on shore and the revenue steamer Andy
johnson opened her ports and echoed re-
Spouse.
Prearranged plans were quickly put in
operation and the escort of The distIn-
gulshe6 visitors took up its position.
The military presented fine appearance.
1t was the largest parade of militia that
has been seen IN Milwaukee since the great
reunion in 1880.
just $50 guests sat down to the banquet
rendered by the Merchants Association to
the President, including Republicans,
Democrats and Mugwumps from all parts
of the State. The dining hall was eiab-
orately decorated with ferns and palms.

Diabolfcal Attempt to Wreck . Train In
Illinois.
ST. LOUIS, Oct 5-Ano'her diabolical at
tempt was made on Monday evening to
wreck passenger train OIL the Illinois &
st. Louis (Pittsburgh) railroad ut the
Western brewery crossing, about one mile
and a half from Belleville. which fortu-
nately was unsuccessful. A special train
Of five cars filed with passengers left
Belleviue for ST. Louis at Gas Monday
evening and passed over the switch at
Wards in safety, and no other train passed
there until the return Of tho special
about 1: 30 a. n. The engineer noticed
nothing wrong with the switch, and the
first intimation that he received that the
switch had been changed was the running
OF OF the engine on TO the Western brew
cry switch, which is about one mile long,
with a very sharp curve at this point. The
train was running at the rate OF about
eighteen miles an hour, and the cars were
filed with men, women and children.
Very few of the passengers knew OF the
danger that they had passed through and
their miraculous escape until the train
came to "A standstill. Upon examination OF
the switch it was discovered that the brass
switch paddock had been broken and the
switch changed 1t is thought by expert
enced railroad men that there would have
been a frightful disaster and a terrible
loss Of life il the switch had not been
thrown too far over, which caused the en-

the rails and plunging down the embank-
ment, to draw the rail to the brewery
switch track, over which the train passed

FARM NOTES.

Whenever a farmer gets a labor-saving
implement for himself let him think If
some thing to save his wife from kitchen
labor can not also be secured.
Wood lands are usually those which are
most benefited by the application of wood
ashes; hence the latter should always be
utilized and not allowed to lie around the
yard in unsightly heaps.
The wondorful productiveness Of central
Illinois soil, even in dry season, is illus
trated by pumpkin six feet two inches in
circumference and weighing 1C512 pounds,
which was grown on the farm Of Thomas
NJ. Stone, near Tolono.
James Carroll says that corn is turning
out better in his neighborhood, in Walker
township, than it did last year. He raised
20 acres, which will make about 81 bushels
20 the acre. Other fields near him will
make fifty bushels to the acre.-Neyadd
(-Ko) Nail.
The difficulty of curing fodder corn in its
immature state, says an exchange, tempts
many farmers into permitting it to become
too ripe before cutting. The stage of flow
ering is considered the best time to cut
other forage crops, and corn appears to be
no exception.
Holt County, Neb, comes to the front
with some mammoth products. A CORE
spondent writes of an ''iron-clad water
melon 36x5l inches, weighing ssh pounds;
a snake cucumber, 35xl514 inches, weigh
ing l2 pounds. He has corn and potatoes
and vegetables of many kinds, and this is
the first crop after breaking.
1t is only matter of time for the pasture
to run out il it be not MANFRED. You can
not continue to obtain milk, beef, mutton
and wool from the pasture and give nothing
back IN return. Yet pastures are used an
nually on some farms with no effort made
to recuperate them, and it will surely end
in exhaustion of the soil and disappearance
of the grass.
The fence corners are the pest-holes of
the farm. From them spring nearly all
the weed seeds and undesirable grasses
which are scattered over the fields. Rail
fences are expensive on account Of the
ground they occupy and the weeds they
protect. If necessary, the hoe should be
brought into requisition to clean out the
spaces along the fence.
Trimming an apple tree does not mean
that enc must go into the orchard and hack
away with an axe and saw simply to cut
away a certain proportion Of wood, but the
trees should be evenly trimmed, and no
limbs removed except such as may benefit
the tree by being cut of. Where a limb
has commenced to decay, it should be re-
moved, however, as it may DO caused by
disease. Especially is this necessary with
pear trees, which are subject to blight.
The cabbage worm has done great dam
age this season, and as yet no remedy has
teen found to prevent such ravages with
out injuring the cabbages. Kerosene, car
bolic acid, ETC., impregnate the cabbages
with an odor, though they may destroy the
worms. The safest method would be uni
ted action in killing the white butterfly,
which is the parent of the cabbage worm.
This could be done if determined upon. and
would be cheaper than applying remedies.

MANGANESE ORES.
Valuable Infor nation Relating to An Inter
esting Geological Question.


esting Geological Question.
The origin of manganese is an inter-
esting geological question. 1t is
thought that its origin is similar to
that of hematite ores; that it has been
deposited from solutions, and that time
has been one of the agents in its depo-
sition. Possibly this accounts for the
fact that the manganese deposits seem
to contain less PHOSPHORUS than the
rocks from which they have been
leached. 1t is also remarkable that SO
far as known the valuable deposits of
manganese have been in pockets,
usually imbedded in tenacious clay
which requires washing to remove.
1t is found by the United States Geo
logical Survey that manganese has a
distribution almost co-extensive with
the deposits of brown hematite ores o.
this country. In almost all these ores
manganese occurs rs constituent.
At times the manganese displaces SO
much of the iron as to make the ore q
manganiferous iron ore. while at other
times. in close association with the
iron ores, veins or pockets of mangan-
csc will be found. This statement is
specially true of the hematite ore beds
of the great Appalachian chain of
mountains from the northern to the
southern extremity.
The localities in this country pre-
ducing the most manganese are the
Crimora mines in Virginia; Carriers
vile, Ga, and Batesville, Ark. There
are a number of known deposits on this
coast, both in Nevada and California.
But manganese mining here has never
been very mu CHI of an industry. though
some of the deposits are being worked.

Stock Cars Wrecked.

CAIRO, H., Oct. 5.-A very serious acct
cident occurred at the incline of the St
Louis, Arkansas Il Texas railway, at Birds
Point. this morning. Four cars of Texas
cattle were being let down the incline, and
either the engine was too light or Some
part Of the machinery gave way, and the
train went down the incline and through the
transfer steamer McComb with such force
as to knock out the bumpers at the rear.
Every car went overheard. There were
ninety-five head of cattle in the cars and
many Of them were injured, IS the cars
were broken in pieces by the wreck. Those
not injured, liberated by the wrecking Of
the cars, swan ashore, or to the sand-bar,
and were recovered. The value of the
herd is estimated at $500, which, with the
loss of cars, makes the accident costly to
the road, even if fifty cattle are recovered.
Those that went on shore were frightened
badly and ran away.

CRUELTY IN PERSIA.


The Heartless Manner In Which Criminals
Are Executed ut Teheran.
That the Persian is phenomenal
liar is well known, and need not be
dwelt upon. Like most towards he is
also fond of inflicting pain where he
may do SO safely. Cruelty seems in
born with him. 1 have seen little
children of both sexes stoning a poor
cur to death and literally hacking a
miserable cat to pieces just for the fun
of the thing, and without any inter-
ference from their parents. often even
with their active cooperation. The
death penalty is usually carried out
with view of making the culprit un-
dergo the most horrible fortunes. and
of affording a grateful sight to the cal
lous populace. On the Koop-Kapu in
Teheran, the square in the heart of the
city where executions usually take
place, half score of delinquents are
often placed on the raised platform,
surmounted by the pole painted a bril-
liant scarlet, and in full sight of the
rabble assembled they have their threats
cut, their hearts torn out, their ears
and noses split, their tongues pulled
out, their eyes scared. or boiling pitch
poured over their naked bodies to
everybody's great delectation except
the parties directly concerned. Along

ground, short hollow pillars with the

thinks it worth his while to liberate
the poor wretch or to terminate his
sufferings by a merciful blow. ks

AWFUL DEATH.
Screw Worms in a Mans Head Cause IIis
Death.

SHERMAN. Tex, Oct. IA terrible death
occurred at Preston Bend, in the northern
part of this county, Wednesday evening.
About ten days ago a prominent farmer,
who lives at this place, by the name OF G.
W. Crouch, was attacked with bleeding 1T
the nose. After stopping the flow of blood
he laid down on a work bench near his
dwelling house and took sleep, when it IS
supposed that what is known as the screw
fly deposited its Larvae on the blood in his
nostrils. The next day he began
to suffer with intense pain in the head, and
thinking that he had an attack of spasmodlc
catarrh was treated for that, and continued
to grow worse till the day before his
death. Either mo physician or his friends
conceived the idea that he was suffering
from screw worms and injected in his head
calomel, which is the best known destroyer
of these animals, when, IN few moments,
large quantities Of the worms came from
his head, but it was too late, and he contin-
Ted steadily sinking until he died.
